Anxiety

Feeling a certain level of anxiety over big stressors or certain life events is totally normal. However, if you find that your fear or worry does not go away and, in fact, gets worse over time, you may be suffering from an anxiety disorder. Mild anxiety is vague and unsettling and often passes quickly, while severe anxiety can seriously affect your day-to-day life. If you are finding your anxiety unmanageable, can’t identify the cause of your anxious feelings or if you are suffering from physical symptoms (such as heart palpations, fatigue, sweaty hands, upset stomach, or insomnia), it may be time to get help. Reach out to one of TherapyDen’s anxiety specialists today.

Psychotherapy can be extremely helpful if you have been noticing some symptoms of anxiety. Therapy can help you to uncover thought patterns that may be adding to anxiety or depression, show you healthy coping skills, and give you perspective + hope. I use evidence-based approaches to address these concerns including ACT, CBT, SFBT, MBCT, and Narrative Therapy.

— Brionna Yanko, Psychotherapist in Denver, CO

At its core, anxiety is an inability or difficulty accepting the unknown. Often there are core beliefs behind the anxiety that make it hard to change; we'll work to figure out what those are and form more flexible core beliefs.

Anxiety is everywhere and affects everyone. For most of my 20 year career, I've observed that anxiety can stem from a variety of places - mostly born out of traumatic experiences. Anxiety spreads. It can start as one annoying thought and then that one thought goes haywire and actually begins to convince us of something that isn't true. Or that we can control something that we cannot.

— Micah Hatchett, Counselor in ,

I aim to develop clarity for you, facilitate growth, and support lowering distress.

Anxiety can exhibit differently depending on the person. Some experience anxiety physiologically with a racing heart, shaky hands, and an inability to concentrate. Others experience it as irritability, sleepless nights, or conflicts with close loved ones. Regardless of how it manifests in your life, your anxiety is real and valid.

— Amanda Alberson, Counselor in Westminster, CO

Whether you’re suffering from panic attacks, obsessive thoughts, unrelenting worries, or an incapacitating phobia, it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with anxiety and fear. Treatment can help, and for many anxiety problems, therapy is often the most effective option. That’s because anxiety therapy—unlike anxiety medication—treats more than just the symptoms of the problem. Therapy can help you uncover the underlying causes of your worries and fears; and help you overcome them.

— Rebeca Melendez, Counselor in Coral Gables, FL

Anxiety is energy that our body holds onto. If we do not release that energy it eventually turns into a panic attack. At it's worse a panic attack and present like a heart attack. I can load your "toolbox" with ways to expel anxiety and help you feel better.

Anxiety comes up a lot. Sometimes anxiety symptoms present in response to an identifiable stressor; other times, anxiety symptoms like rumination have been present as far back as you can remember. Either way, we will work together to address the underlying issue and learn new/old ways to manage it.
